busicly you probly screwed up the system by installing a wad that didnt finnish correctly, you better off using a safe 4.2 updater

have you a spare GC controller? If so you could try the FREEsavemii while you wait for one to arrive. This will let you know exactly if you have a brick. Open the controller up (you'll need a triwing) and plug the controller into port 4 on the wii. Now, I've never tried this, but you can search around for better instructions; hold down all the d-pad buttons a the same time and start the wii - look around for descriptions about how to do this successfully, I've heard people say you have to do it various specific ways. If successful you'll get a recovery menu I believe, then you maybe able to do something.

anyway, this is just the same as what the savemii will allow you to do.

Sorry you've had bad luck mate, hope this helps; it's not much, but it's worth trying

PS, just thought, you'd need a disc with a higher firmware update on it for this proceedure to "repair" your wii- sorry

 

[jakehikky]

many thanks for the replies

much appreciated

im going to go pick a gamecube controller up tomorrow

i have wiifit plus which i think has 4.0 on it so will give it a try and report back

many thanks again.

that's the trouble with what I said, you've probably updated now to 4.2, so the wiifit disc won't help, and likely, nor will the (free)savemii

SaveMiiFrii is NOT going to help you. One of the first few wads you installed was System Menu 4.2. You can't install a system menu version lower than or equal to your current version with SaveMii/Frii

 

[nitrostemp]

i think if you could rent a wii game with the new firmware youd be set

There's no System Menu 4.3

 

[giantpune]

You can't install a system menu version lower than or equal to your current version.

just for clarification. you cant with the savemii method.

Oops, forgot to add that.

 

[nitrostemp]

whos says his system is on 4.2 yet, i may have never made it to that yet

It was the second wad he installed.

 

[nitrostemp]

or is it? he could of just install the usa version of the menu when he needed the eu ver

 

[jakehikky]

im hoping the 4.2 failed to install

hopefully FREEsavemii will shows 3.3 still

 

[jakehikky]

tried the free way with no luck

i think its something more serious now

as its just displaying no signal through my tv even though i can hear the wii fan spinning and the power light is on

i know its not the cables or tv as i have tried my neighbours wii with no problems

nintendo here i come i guess

thanks for he info though all

much appreciated
